2014 NLDS Game Three - Metropolis vs. Glen Allen

McCutchen started the scoring early.

With the NLDS tied at one game each, the Avengers and Mets flew to Glen Allen for games three, four, and five. Metropolis sent recent acquisition Justin Masterson to the mound to face former Avenger CC Sabathia.

Metropolis jumped on their former ace quickly, as center fielder Andrew McCutchen hit a one-out solo homer in the top of the first. The Mets answered back, however. They loaded the bases with two hits and a walk in the bottom of the first and then pushed across two runs without another hit. Andre Ethier scored on a Masterson wild pitch and Adrian Gonzalez scored on a sacrifice fly and the Mets had a 2-1 lead.

Carlos Quentin's two homers led Metropolis.

Metropolis took the lead right back in the top of the second. They had two singles, three doubles and two sacrifice flies, which combined for four runs and a 5-2 lead. The visitors kept it up, hitting two-run homers in the third and fourth innings, extending their lead to 9-2.

The Mets did rally in the bottom of the seventh, plating four runs off Masterson and reliever Huston Street, but it wasn't enough. Metropolis reliever Craig Kimbrel came in to end the threat and close out the game. Avenger designated hitter Carlos Quentin was the hitting star, hitting two homers and a double while knocking in three and scoring three. In the end, the Avengers won 11-6 and retook the series lead, two games to one.
